Girl In Foster Care For 9 Years Surprised With Taylor Swift-Themed Adoption | Happily TV

A Taylor Swift fan in and out of foster care for nine years burst into tears when news of her adoption was broken to her with a twist tied to the Eras superstar singer. Brielle, 10, first moved in with her adoptive parents Tricia and Justin, from Peoria, Illinois, when she was a year old, and for the past three years, had been asking twice a day: ‘When will I be adopted?’ Brielle had been in a foster home for the first year of her life, before moving in with Tricia and Justin. After two years with the couple, she was returned to her biological parents, only for the family to later decide they could not raise her, so Brielle moved back in with Tricia and Justin once more. Over the years that followed, the couple grew incredibly close to their foster daughter, with their case worker telling them their planned adoption was close to completion. That hope of adoption lasted for around three years, Tricia, 38, said – nine years after Brielle was first taken into their care – and every day, without fail, Brielle would ask for updates. When Tricia was then given the news that Brielle's adoption had been approved, she knew she had to plan a big surprise for her foster daughter, who is a huge fan of Taylor Swift. She started looking online for Taylor Swift-themed adoption surprises, and settled on a t-shirt that read, "In My Adoption Day Era," a nod to Swift's recent Eras Tour. On August 8, Tricia handed Brielle a gift bag who pulled out a note, which explained that she had been in foster care for 3190 days, before asking if she's like to end that streak the following month.
